Born Germaine Hélène Irène Lefebvre in 1933, Capucine emerged from the world of fashion modeling to become a distinctive presence in film. Her role in What's New Pussycat? (1965) showcased her comedic talent, while her performances in Walk on the Wild Side (1962) and The Exquisite Cadaver (1969) highlighted her versatility in both drama and surrealism. With a career spanning over four decades, Capucine's contributions to cult cinema are evident in her appearances across various genres, including the avant-garde Fellini Satyricon (1969) and the erotic thriller Delirium: Photo of Gioia (1987).
The Queens
Four unrelated short comedies by four different directors. "Queen Sabina" chronicles the sexual misadventures of a teenage girl on the road home. "Queen Armenia" centers on a self-serving opportunistic gypsy babysitter who uses her employer's kids for her own gain. The third episode, "Queen Elena" centers on a husband who learns a lesson about the perils of infidelity after he succumbs to the wiles of the seductive wife next door. The last vignette, "Queen Marta" centers on a wealthy woman who, when drunk, uses her butler as an outlet for her lust.
